Some Interesting Fish

Fish you might want to consider for your fish tank, or that you may want additional information about.

Goldfish
With over 300 different color and body type combinations to choose from, goldfish are far from "plain old" anymore!

Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish)
One of the most popular species of fish available today. Unfortunately, the Betta vase is killing many of these wonderful fish unnecessarily and making many people think that keeping fish is harder than it really is...

Piranha
Thanks to Hollywood and some highly exaggerated early reports, these fish have an unfounded reputation as vicious and violent fish. In some places, this has resulted in unnecessary laws regulating their sale and distribution.

Pacu
Close cousins to the piranha, these fish are often more aggressive and territorial, though they tend to be herbivorous!

Oscar
Quite possibly the fish with the most personality. These very intelligent fish can make great pets, but they don't tend to get along well with other fish...

Ornamental Snails
Fascinating critters to keep in your fish tank, but beware that they can be devastating to live plants, and do not expect them to clean up for you, as they tend to be very messy...

Dragonfish
A North and Central American brackish water fish that can grow to two feet long and may (though rarely) hunt smaller fish.




"Thanks a lot for having such a great website, it really help us (me and my girlfriend) to get started with the first tank (5) and to move to the newer bigger one of 38 gallon. Everything is simple and easy to follow. Moreover your credentials are outstanding, reason why I felt 100 % comfortable following all of your recommendations. I can't believe you don't have any ads on the website since you are listed first in Google but that was just a personal thought, I'm sure you have your reasons."
